NAME¶
kxterm - the CERN KUIP terminal emulator
SYNOPSIS¶
kxterm [
class] [
options]
DESCRIPTION¶
kxterm is a terminal emulator combining the best features of the (now
defunct) Apollo DM pads (like: input and transcript pads, automatic file
backup of transcript pad, string search in pads, etc.) and the Korn shell
emacs-style command line editing and command line recall mechanism. For more
detailed information about the program, please see the online help available
from the kxterm Help menu.
kxterm has a number of X resources which can be set by the user; these are
listed in the online help and in the file /etc/X11/app-defaults/KXterm, where
the default values are set. It should be noted that when kxterm is acting as a
client for another application, the desired X resource should be prefixed by
"Kx" plus the class name of the application. So for application
"Foo" the kxterm resource class would be KxFoo, and one would set
KxFoo*background, etc. One can also set the resource class of a kxterm window
via the command-line with the
class argument.
